About this event

Our guest speaker for the May general meeting will be Dr. Brian Johnson, professor in the Department of Entomology and Nematology at the University of California, Davis, and author of the book Honey Bee Biology. He has conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California, San Diego, and at the University of California, Berkeley. He earned his PhD under the supervision of Thomas Seeley at Cornell University. Dr. Johnson conducts research mainly on division of labor in bees, and the evolutionary genetics of social evolution.

 

Dr. Johnson will deliver a presentation titled: “Varroa mites: did they cause CCD and all the problems since, and are we closer to reliable treatments?”
